Bielen’s Straight Sends Strebel Packing, Ghashayar Folds Aces
Nivel 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bob Bielen kicked off the action with an under the gun raise to 80,000, followed by Iman Ghashayar in middle position, who responded with a three-bet to 240,000. Georg Strebel, down to his last 55,000, decided to shove all in. The action returned to Bielen, who called Ghashayar's three-bet, and the three went to the flop.
The dealer revealed J♠9♠10♥, but both Bielen and Ghashayar opted to check, carrying their cautious play through the K♥ turn as well.
When the 5♥ hit the river, Bielen broke the silence with a bet of 215,000. Ghashayar thought it over for a while but unwillingly folded his A♥Ax, disappointed by the missed opportunity. Bielen then revealed Q♥Q♦, showing a straight, sending Strebel to the rail with his 5x4x.
